AMAZING! I’m watching this in 2022 as the fertilizer crisis unfolds. I am not a fan of commercial fertilizer as it is void of the right variety of minerals and tends to be acidic. I am planning on getting a home version so that I can make my own organic fertilizer and find a good use for my vegetable scraps. Love it!
Well could it be they are actually doing something instead of sitting around bitching about other people. And I think the music is a nice touch and is only distracting to people with low intelligence.
I picked up a pound of red wigglers on the 15th of March 2018 I'm very pleased, the worms were active and ready for the worm bin I had gotten ready for them. I used cow manure and leaf mold I had stored for this. I feed my worms vegetable scraps run thru a blender makes it easier to brake down for them. I haven't had any issues of them trying to leave the bin. I feed them once every 6 days. I think I will have to start a new bin I the upcoming month. Thank you tx worm ranch.
Incredible man! I'm working on plans for my first ever worm farm and this has given me so much more insight. Stuff like this just makes me so happy and excited to learn more. Amazing!
K Joos, where did you see "Vermicomposting" at? I went to the School of Permaculture's site and didn't see anything related to "Vermicomposting." I want to learn how to raise worms, but I didn't see anything at the organization's site or anywhere else to help me learn how to do that. If anybody knows where to lead me I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks ahead!
🤔 so if it gets hot where i live (central Texas), maybe i should compost out in the hot sun, and then feed the compost to my worms, which i would keep in the shade? .... i think i wanna buy some red wigglers from a bait shop in the spring. i understand that worms depend on the bacteria to digest the food scraps for them, and that's what they eat. then they poop out high quality worm castings, yeah?
My bucket of worms has surface worms that are beginning to break down (bleeding liquid/goo). But, the worms at the bottom/middle of bucket are alive. How do I keep them from doing that? I keep them in my screened-in porch in a bucket. I add water from time to time. I trim trees in my yard (with my 12amp Dewalt Sawzall with 12 inch pruning saw blade) and have a lot of left over saw dust. Is the saw dust good to give them? How often should I change the bedding and what should it be made of? Walmart sells $3 bags (+30lbs per bag) of manure/compost for gardening without any additives (a no name bag). Is this good to use as food/new dirt to feed the worms? One of the videos I watched said to feed them cricket food ($4 for a small container of dusty stuff with corn, soybeans, vitamins and minerals, and other stuff; but, that gets pricey after a while). Are there better, cheaper items to feed them? If I feed them organic table scraps, how fine should they be cut up/processed before mix it into the worms or should I just pour the cut up table scraps on top (if it's a viable feeding option)? What does worm bedding such as newspaper, woodchips, sawdust and/or wet leaf mulch do for worms that regular dirt/manure can't do (why use one as a bottom layer?; would it work better if they were mixed instead of layered?)? What temperatures should I keep them at (and where depending on season/climate: spring, summer, fall, winter, autumn?)? How thick should the layer of dirt/bedding be for worms inside the bucket/bin (and does it differ between red wrigglers and huge nightcrawlers?) (I'm more interested in having more red wrigglers and only a few nightcrawlers; can you grow them together?; Do the species have problems living in the same bin/home together?)? Do I have to buy organic dirt to give them or can they thrive in environments with artificial additives like in common bags of soil (I ask because I live in North Georgia, USA)? Detail answer's would be great and most appreciated. Thank you for your time and effort! Sincerely, Jacob SurvivalGeek (TH-cam) th-cam.com/channels/fRsUPToBXp4ZIre__dJg4A.html
That was one of the coolest things I have seen in a long time! As a pro brewer, I have a huge hard on for mechanical setups, after setting up a few processing facilities. Thanks for the share!
Talk about free material on the way in, cheap unpaid labor (worms), and extremely valuable thought after material on the way out (worm casting) ... Not sure my going into the office every day makes a whole lot of sense.
I'm getting back into permaculture, I'm also going to use rabbit feces. It's a win-win. It was most enjoyable time of my life.. but I would like to learn more. Are there any videos you recommend me watching
can anyone help me with a tip? I have a healthy worm bin with a million babies in it, but all of my worms are small. How do I get them to stop making babies and grow up big and fat? They are european crawlers.
Hello, thank you for your video. I just would like to ask you. I live in Germany, what can I do for the worms in winter, especially when the temperature is lower than 0, in order to keep the worms working normally. Thank you in advance
this didnt tell me a whole lot about worms and their upkeep, what they like and dont like, the decomposing process, what they do with the liquid runoff from the beds, do people bring their wood and leaves to their lot, or do they go out and roam the streets for bags of yard debris....and where is Heather rinaldi at? It would have helped if you interviewed someone who loves worms and what they do...
Great video. What kind of worms are they using? I would like to use Canadian nightcrawlers so I can make dirt and have good fishing bait but but is there another good kind of worm for this ?
Very nice handcrafted setup! Here's what I'm wondering: How do you keep seeds from contaminating your final product? You don't want the beds to become too hot for obvious reasons, but that also means that seeds will survive. (As we clearly can see from all the pumpkins that were sprouting up). I can imagine the sifter removing the larger seeds, but surely there must be a lot that pass through if they're small enough? - Also I think you recycle all your materials.. Does that mean that sifted out seeds will go back into the bins? -edit I guess I would have to ask the worm farmer, not the video creator. :)
Gotta disagree with you there, worm compost is the most valuable compost you can create. By far. A handful of the stuff has more microbial life than an entire acre of (sprayed) soil. I was just wondering how their setup works regarding seeds. :)
Seeds are in the bin and wet long enough to sprout. The ones buried deep will use their energy up trying to grow to surface, then die and become worm food. Sprouts that make it to surface will die due to lack of sunlight or they will get folded under by the worm farmer where they die and become worn food. In short the process is long enough and wet enough to cause seeds to germinate and dark enough to turn them to worm food.
I try to learn from every video I see. I like the part where the yard companies drop off the leaves and yard waste saving themselves money and it saves you money on worm food. Same for the pumpkins. I wonder why the farmers dont use the left over pumpkins themselves but if it works for them great! I know the worms love pumpkins! Why the gloves? I just use my bare hands unless I get a bad cut or something!
Looks very dry. Every worm bin I've built or used was damp or moist. Do they dry the material before putting it through the sifters? Awesome video, as usual. Keep sharing the love!
its quite tricky to get the moisture content right, im sure just the top layer is dry, they must wet it down. the temperature is crucial as well, not too hot or cold, but indoors is easily controlled, ive seen beds outside that use heavy insulation or heated cables in the winter, im guessing in texas its overheating thats the problem. ive also seen slotted drainage pipe run through the beds horizontally top get air down into the compost.
GREAT!... just subscribed to your channel, I will contact you all... "need to learn a lot 🙄... I want to start a small scale worm farm, then will go commercial scale.. TKS FOR THE VID👌🏻🍀👌🏻
You mentioned in the beginning....(resources free). And I was waiting for you to mention near the end of the video, how much profit does that farm gain. You left all your viewers hanging and wondering, if and how much profit is in it.
I have no idea what they make, but they sell the worm tea, "Worm Wine" I think they call it, for eight dollars a gallon at a local farmers market. It is the real deal, they don't put lids on it so as to keep an oxygen supply to the bacteria.
I dident have any problems with the music ? Anyway great stuff !! I'd love to become part of the school of permaculture !! I'd drop everything & go live out there since where I live doesn't have agriculture School like you guys do in your area. Well u know what I mean ? Thanks for the video. I wish 10 years ago I would of known how things were gonna play out with all the organic food. It's so sad to see all the farm land I lived around my hole life" practically" Now is all being turned into complexes ! Overpriced fancy two bedroom apartments.... : 《 No farms no food !!
that music is so obnoxiously loud and annoying, whoever edited this has no concept of audio what so ever. You're meant to actually be able to hear the people speaking not some obnoxious music
Worm castings are the only compost a plant can immediately take up VIA root system with not breakdown needed. Worms are way ahead of tech in the human world...they have been doling it for hundreds..thousands of years!
AMAZING! I’m watching this in 2022 as the fertilizer crisis unfolds. I am not a fan of commercial fertilizer as it is void of the right variety of minerals and tends to be acidic.

Really doesn't need back ground music 😩
The unnecessary elevator jams are a requisite for any organic relatated yt video, it’s required by law.
Wouldn't usually agree but with this video, it's true, the music is distracting.
I’m actually mad there was zero cow bell! 😡
Well could it be they are actually doing something instead of sitting around bitching about other people. And I think the music is a nice touch and is only distracting to people with low intelligence.
it doesn’t stop!

Did you do it? Curious.
She is busy to replay 😀
How's your worm doing
I could sit and watch the workings of the worm farm all day. Heather has an amazing setup!
They offer classes in vermicomposting and organic gardening too! This place rocks!
K Joos, where did you see "Vermicomposting" at? I went to the School of Permaculture's site and didn't see anything related to "Vermicomposting."

K Joos I prefer isopod wood lice or soldier flies for vermicompost. Redworms are too finicky

I like how they made everything by themself...
Loved the video, thank you!! ❤️ music could be less loud, I actually had to switch on subtitles and turn down the sound........
started my worm farm this week..video to follow
This is so therapeutic to listen to.
New subscriber, great video, will be checking them all out! Thanks for taking the time to put this together!
how do they extract worm larvas from the soil
How do I build that vibrating sifting machine????
The worms on this ranch are individually branded to deter worm rustlers
I laughed and laughed.
🤣 I’m still laughing, thinking about them branding those little worms 😆

It would have been nice to see some worms to differentiate between worm casts and compost!
Crude operation but very effective. Good job
GREAT INGENUITY applied to a great endeavor
This makes me want start my own big worm farm! 😍😍
Just think what a nutrient rich product it could be if you fed alfalfa hay and peanut hay
My man Nick!! Amazing you ended up on my suggested videos. Kinda surprised me. Rob From Bossier City LA. PDC Grad
Wow, this is great! I will put up one farm of this kind in Kenya, Connect me with those guys for more guidance...
Emmanuel Oriedo good luck! I am starting a smaller one in Denver Colorado.

Worm ranch.. where are the saddles?
What is the price per kilo?
Your rawmaterials for vermicompost includes only leaves and food waste??
No cow dungs??
Cow dung is hot , not good for the worms.
cow manure should be well composted before using any as worm food or at least give them a place to get away from it in case of over heating.

what plants are growing in the beds
just found ur channel. You got my sub man 🙏🙏🙏
I love worms and so does my garden plants and trees flowers and fruits and vegetables awesome video 👌 💖.
What is the food for the worms?
You are awesome. So diggin' this education. Thank you. Definitely subscribed.

interesting. Iam interested in starting one. Please advise where I can buy worms and delivered in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
Awesome, thanks for the video
Thank you for posting this video, it made us want to set up are our worm farm.

what color are those babies?
No one has addressed the issue of pesticides that could be on the yard wasted brought in from everyone's yards.
Do you know of a worm farm in Houston?
Hello, thank you for your video.
I just would like to ask you.
I live in Germany, what can I do for the worms in winter, especially when the temperature is lower than 0, in order to keep the worms working normally.
Thank you in advance
You put a lot of dried leaves as mulch on top of the soil. Leaves keep them warm.
How did I get here???
how to enroll online?
you guys are awesome!!!!! great educational videos...
You are not being totaly honest. Dont tell me the leaves are straightawy put into the worm boxes, whole without first decomposing the leaves?
And why not? If kept moist as they should be they will mold up and be delicious worm food in no time
this didnt tell me a whole lot about worms and their upkeep, what they like and dont like, the decomposing process, what they do with the liquid runoff from the beds, do people bring their wood and leaves to their lot, or do they go out and roam the streets for bags of yard debris....and where is Heather rinaldi at?

Cool facility. Not sure I want to get inoculated 5:29 with worms, but I'd be down to worm farm.
same...I dont think he knows what inoculated means
What are the worms fed?
@Hello John Carlson, How are you doing?
great stuff. love these educational video's.
Dallas!
Great video.
What kind of worms are they using?
I would like to use Canadian nightcrawlers so I can make dirt and have good fishing bait but but is there another good kind of worm for this ?
I want to start a worm farm in Vegas. Can you direct me in the ways of worms.👍👍👍👍
eBay
Awesome vid bro! Crushing it!
Thanks for sharing.
I love this, its so interesting!
How much $ can these farms make?
Excelente!
Now after all those yours can we know any news about one of people whom started. That kind of work
It's can make that money ????

You think too much. This product is for trendies who wanna brag about their environmental awareness and not for people who actually grow stuff :)

Hi. Living in the Caribbean . How do i get online course going?
Hi Shayne - are you asking about the school of permaculture online course? You can check it out at schoolofpermaculture.com/online-courses/

in Michigan we feed pumpkins to the sheep.
Do worms end up in machines ?
Neat video!
Omg I’m in Dallas too !!
Wow !
Where are the cowboy boots and hat?
i like this and i like all your videos
I want training from you.
Great concept

Do you have worm sales? How much do you sell?
They didn't show what they did with the egg's
Great stuff my man! Question... Do they allow customers to tour their facility?
Huggstaff13
Give them an email. I'm sure buying a pound wouldn't hurt.
This worms are good feed for commercial fish farms.
Omg i love thia channel
national farming is beautiful worms are important !
Cool
Crap, I'm CaptainHard I'm a fisherman am I not. What you bait a hook with a worm.
Why tf do they think it is necessary to talk over someone practicing guitar?
aw.. it's like, brown gold!
Any update, or details, on "Fungal Dominated Worm Castings"??? Thank you. Skip :}) 12-17-16
Probably just low heat system. Probably input related. Mainly leaves and wood for carbon
I got into raising worms because of this video and because of Grant McIntosh. Check Grant's TH-cam videos on teaching us about worms
Hows it going
Could you turn off the background music, please
TO MUCH MUSIC GUYS
GREAT!... just subscribed to your channel, I will contact you all... "need to learn a lot 🙄... I want to start a small scale worm farm, then will go commercial scale.. TKS FOR THE VID👌🏻🍀👌🏻
So beautiful
awesome . I raise worms as well
How do U know we are awesome?
Ganja! always the answer to the world most complex questions
Not one worm to show?
